Healthy Habits Tracker

Activate healthy behaviours with the 30 day challenge via the Healthy Habits Trackers! Participate in one or all three 60MKC school challenges. Challenges are held throughout the year skipping over busy times at school and holidays.

FALL [October 15th – November 15th]

WINTER [February 1st – March 1st]

SPRING [May 1st – June 1st]

The 60 Minute Kids’ Club Healthy Habits Tracker Challenge is a blend of high tech & high touch practices that have proven successful in past initiatives. The format is as follows:

Touch: A school assembly for the students provides a fun and educational format to bring awareness and responsibility on what healthy habits are and how they can incorporate them into their daily life. The website has a 60MKC pledge form they can print at home, and put on the fridge to remind them of the 30 day healthy challenge their school is participating in.

Tech: The online tracking provides feedback to the students, their parents and their teachers on how they are doing during the challenge. The healthy behaviours and goals may include:

Activities

Nutrition

Screen Time

Hydration

Sleep

Mental Health

FMS Assessment Tool

The 60MKC FMS Assessment tool compliments tools like the Passport for Life [PHE] and the Playtools [CS4L]. Built for the generalist teacher instructing PE and Health Classes from kindergarten to grade 8, our suite of FMS tools and resources are easy to use to Assess, Show, Teach and Activate kids' fundamental movement skills.

Use of the video-based Assessment Tool and Active For Life Lesson Plans – like all our tools – are free, open and requires no sign-in. Signing up for a FMS account however, allows you to create tracking and reporting profiles for each of the kids you're assessing, keeping an ongoing record of their skills development.

The FMS Assessment tool provides an 'official value' and an 'unofficial value' score. The official value is scored by qualified professionals in the assessment of FMS - teachers, coaches, program coordinators. The unofficial value score is for self-evaluation and/or peer-evaluation assessments - kids, parents, caregivers.
